83 Dunlavin Road, Mitcham VIC 3132

'Dunlavin' is a property rich in local history; as charming today as it was when it was lovingly built at the turn of the 20th century. Its Edwardian façade, with traditional timber fretwork, turned posts and a wraparound verandah draws you in, and features such as ceiling roses, sweeping ceilings, leadlight windows, decorative cornices and high skirtings ensure that you are not disappointed once you make your way inside.
The delightful home offers three large bedrooms; two of these have built in robes, open fireplaces with rich timber mantles and tiled/cast iron surrounds and generous, light filled period style ensuites with timber vanities. The third bedroom has built-in robes and a brick fireplace plus pleasing vistas to a lush garden courtyard with extensive red brick paving, tree ferns and large canna lilies to name a few.
The lounge, dining room and kitchen are the central hub of the home and create a wonderful place for the family to gather and enjoy time together, with the ambiance of another open fire place to enjoy in cooler months. The kitchen offers stainless steel appliances including an electric wall oven, gas hotplates and a dishwasher, plus a well-placed appliance cupboard to assist with organisation. A sliding French door in the dining room leads to a pleasing alfresco deck that is the perfect place to sit quietly and enjoy the beautiful garden surrounds or to entertain family and friends.
Set on 774sqm approx. of prime Mitcham land, there is an expansive back yard that lends itself to a great play space for children or potentially to an extension of the original property or perhaps a dual occupancy project (STCA). It currently houses a stunning red double brick building which was the original Mitcham dairy; certainly a claim no other home in the area can make. It is presently divided in 2 with one half acting as a 4th bedroom with its own toilet and the other half being used as a storage room. The uses for this are endless; a perfect home office, a teenage retreat or self-contained accommodation. You are limited only by your imagination.
There are pleasing additions such as timber floors, gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, a single carport plus a sensational location. Opposite Walker Park and within walking distance to Nunawading/Mitcham train stations, local buses, schools and popular restaurants/cafes, plus a short drive to a number of shopping precincts and Eastlink.
This is your rare chance to buy a home that is truly unique and steeped in history; act now to avoid disappointment.
